Jane Eyre

I picked up this book a few weeks ago and then had to walk away due to more pressing demands. So yesterday, I started it over. I still find myself utterly entranced with Charlotte Bronte's classic novel.

Many claim that Jane Austen is the founding voice in romance, I won't argue. However, I'm reading Jane Eyre (into the third part now) and I would bet money that many Regency romance authors started with this book. The classic pairing of a wealthy man and his child's governess is all too apparent.

If you read historical romance and have missed Jane Eyre, definitely pick it up! I have work to do - otherwise I'd be elsewhere with my nose in the book waiting for the final page!
